Q: When you are studying film, what are the things you focus on to improve your game?

When studying film of myself I look to correct any mistakes in technique and effort. When watching film of other teams I like to look for tendencies, formations, and players and what teams like to do with their best players and their worst. Because I blitz often I also like to analyze the offensive line and how well they block schemes and how they pass set for passes. I also like to analyze how many times a team will run the ball vs pass. I look for anything that can possibly give me an edge over my opponents. I also watch other players and learn what I can from them.

Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?
